This Thanksgiving week, many families will gather together and reflect on the people, good fortune and gratitude that abounds. As a company, it gives us a moment to show our appreciation and thankfulness for our most valuable asset - our employees.

At TechTrans, our employees are the biggest reason why we have been a successful company for almost 30 years. And they’re the number one reason why companies continue to turn to us for their supply chain and logistics needs.

Incentives for Success

Our company structure centers around a dedicated
account coordinator and/or team for each customer,
which ensures deep knowledge about the customers and
end-users we serve. This also means our customers have
one point of contact who knows the history of the
account and real-time information on where their
products are in the supply chain. In fact, our
employees become an integral part of those customers'
teams.

As with most dedicated teams, the more we help our
customers succeed, the more we as a 3PL provider
succeed. Which is why we give thanks to our employees
by offering the opportunity to share in incentives for
success. Through bonus structures, we let our
employees share in company profits if they help:

Improve supply chain processes

Increase volume of activity

Increase revenue or growth profit margins

Enhance productivity through technology and other
tools

Employee Empowerment

As an organization, we are set up to empower our
employees to make decisions that can best meet the
needs and expectations of our customers, from both a
financial and customer service perspective.

This approach gives our employees ownership in the
company, as well as a sense of pride in their jobs. We
also offer a flexible work environment for employees,
allowing them to shape their work hours around times
that best serve the needs of their customers or
internal teams. A culture that embraces work-life
balance means a more satisfied workforce, and a better
ROI for the company.

In the end, this philosophy has given us:

A stable company that has operated profitably each
year for almost 30 years

Longevity in the workforce, with employees who
have been with the company for decades

A management
team with 25+ years in the company, providing a
senior mentor base for new employees and stability
for clients

A family-based environment, built around
compliance standards and operational structure

We've got a great company at TechTrans, and it all
comes down to our people. So this Thanksgiving week,
we acknowledge their hard work and dedication, and
gives thanks for all the ways they prove to be our
most valued asset.
